Do you have slides and photos you've
collected from field work or vacations?Every month, we'd like to feature one
of your photos from anywhere in the world and invite other readers to guess
where it was taken. Look every month in the print Geotimes for a
new photo. Following are clues, answers and winners from past issues.

Send answers for the January 2004 Where on Earth?
contest, which appears in the print magazine, to Geotimes by January
26 (or postmarked by this date). From those answers, Geotimes staff
will draw the names of 10 people who will win Where on Earth? T-shirts.
And from those 10 names, we will draw the names of two people who will win
a Brunton compass.

1. Located in a World Heritage Site, this location is part of the largest
protected area in the world, straddling the border between two nations.

2. It is believed to be the site of the largest Neoglacial ice-dammed
lake in the world. The ice-dammed lake filled and emptied numerous times;
the most recent significant lake formed in the 1800s and, when the ice
dam burst, drained 40 cubic kilometers of water in a two-day period.

3. The glacier was named for the president of an academic institution
that is the oldest on its continent.

Clues:

1. Although sometimes called the "Land Between Two Seas," this
peninsula is perhaps better known as the back end of an enormous item of
footwear.

2. Carbonate rocks in this region were laid down throughout the entire
Cretaceous period. These thick sequences of rock were rapidly uplifted
and exposed in the Middle Pleistocene when thick continental lithosphere
buckled in the hinge of an adjacent subduction zone.

3. A prominent town in the region is named "beautiful city"
in a classical tongue, a sobriquet shared with the site of a 1915 battle
that was a turning point for Australia's national identity.

Name the region.
